The clinical competence or 'fitness for purpose' of newly qualified nurses continues to be an important professional and corporate issue that as yet has no objective means of assessment. A mixed group of managers, clinicians and educationalists was commissioned to develop a method for the measurement and evaluation of performance during the first year of employment of newly qualified nurses. Two instruments were developed and the results of the initial pilot study are demonstrated in this article. The results are preceded by a review of the relevant literature. The initial pilot study results indicate that in the case of both instruments the tests designed do give clear results on the small numbers used. A complete picture of the validity of the audit tool will not be seen until the results of the full validation study, including the above exercise, are known. However, the results to date indicate that the instruments have the potential to demonstrate the clinical competency of newly qualified staff on employment in their first post and their development over the first year of employment.
新获得资格的护士的临床能力或“是否胜任工作”仍然是一个重要的专业和机构问题，目前尚无客观的评估方法。一个由管理人员、临床医生和教育工作者组成的混合小组受委托开发一种方法，用于测量和评估新获得资格的护士入职第一年的表现。开发了两种工具，本文展示了初步试点研究的结果。在展示结果之前，先对相关文献进行了综述。初步试点研究结果表明，就这两种工具而言，所设计的测试确实能针对所使用的少量样本给出明确结果。在包括上述工作在内的全面验证研究结果出来之前，无法全面了解审计工具的有效性。然而，迄今为止的结果表明，这些工具有可能证明新获得资格的员工在入职首个岗位时的临床能力以及他们在入职第一年的发展情况。
